Best Answer

Diamonds may appear to depreciate in value if one is purchased commercially and sold under duress.

If you purchase a very high-quality, gem-stone diamond and pay a fair market value for it, your chances of being able to sell it for at least what you paid for it -- or more -- are higher than if you simply purchase a 'diamond' from a jeweler without doing your homework as to diamond quality.

Which diamonds hold their value?

Most diamonds hold their value in the sense that once a diamond has been documented by a certified gemologist, its value doesn't diminish. However, a diamond's value is worth what someone will pay you for the diamond you're selling. If you want to invest in diamonds, best practices indicate that you buy a stone that is heavier than one carat; that the stone be either a natural 'fancy' colour, or a 'high-white' colour, such as D; that the stone be ranked as flawless or with minimal flaws -- VVS1, for example -- and that its cut be proportionally excellent. Diamonds of this quality are more likely to bring their appraised and certified value upon a sale than stones of lesser quality.

Difference between depreciation appreciation?

Appreciation and depreciation both deal with asset value over time. Some assets, such as real estate, bonds, and homes gain value as time goes on. These assets are said to appreciate. Other assets, such as vehicles, manufacturing plants, and office equipment lose value over time (depreciate). Appreciation/depreciation as a verb is the process of increasing value. For instance, a piece of real estate might appreciate at 5% per year and a car might depreciate 10% a year. De/Appreciation do NOT have to be linear. For instance, the moment you drive a new car off the lot, it depreciates a considerable amount (say 10% of its value). The next year, though, the car might only depreciate 5%. How one determines the rate of de/appreciation depends on your accounting rules. For tax reasons, many companies have to abide by strict depreciation laws (For instance, it would be unreasonable to depreciate a factory at 90% of it's value in one year because it would effects the company's profits and thus the taxes that company pays). For most consumers, de/appreciation is based on the market value of the asset. Back to the car example: the moment a new car is driven off the lot, it loses a lot of its value because it is then consider a "used" car, so people won't pay as much for it.
